On 11 June 2018, Turkmenistan submitted its National Implementation Action Plan (NIAP) of Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) to the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). The NIAP, that will cover the 2018-2022 period, includes priority measures of the Government of Turkmenistan to implement key provisions of the resolution.
